Xu Zixuan's showing off seemed extremely low-class in An Wuyang's eyes.
When someone showed off something, it meant that, in their eyes, the thing was worth showing off.
Based on what someone showed off, one could roughly determine their social standing.
For example, Xu Zixuan showing off a Chanel lipstick meant that, to her, a single Chanel lipstick was worth showing off. From that, it was clear that Xu Zixuan belonged to a relatively low social circle.
After all, how could someone from a higher social circle possibly show off a Chanel lipstick?
Wasn't that ridiculous?
For example, within An Wuyang's social circle, he had just picked up a BMW M3 worth over a million yuan, yet he hadn't even wanted a delivery ceremony, much less post it on Moments to show off.
If An Wuyang really posted a million-yuan BMW M3 on Moments to show off, even if his "close friends" on Moments would definitely like the post and might even leave comments expressing their envy and congratulations, they would probably be whispering behind his back, wondering whether the An Family had fallen on hard times.
Or perhaps the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group wasn't doing well?
Otherwise, why would An Wuyang show off a BMW M3 that had barely crossed into the million-yuan price range on Moments?
While Xu Zixuan was showing off her Chanel lipstick, Niu Fenjin was secretly observing An Wuyang. He noticed that An Wuyang was dressed conventionally, wearing sports brands from head to toe—and only the domestic brand Anta.
In Niu Fenjin's eyes, An Wuyang's family conditions should be fairly ordinary, right?
So Niu Fenjin took the initiative to ask, "Classmate An, are you planning to buy Adidas or Nike?"
Before An Wuyang could answer, Niu Fenjin continued in a superior tone, "There's no Adidas or Nike in Starlight Plaza. The brands here are more high-end."
"Come to think of it, there's a Muji here, but their products are a little more expensive than H&M and Uniqlo," Niu Fenjin added.
Listening to Niu Fenjin's smug remarks, An Wuyang did not argue. "I'm just looking around. If I find something suitable, I'd like to buy a formal suit."
"A formal suit?" Niu Fenjin froze for a moment.
A high school graduate was buying a formal suit?
What was going on?
An Wuyang continued, "Brother Niu, we can accompany you guys to buy lipstick first."
A smile immediately appeared on Niu Fenjin's face. He had been thinking about how to invite An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing to shop with them—though his main target was Xia Yuqing.
Now that An Wuyang had taken the initiative to suggest going with them to buy lipstick, Niu Fenjin immediately felt at ease. While buying lipstick, he would be able to show off his financial strength.
Although Niu Fenjin was not exactly wealthy, compared with a high school graduate, he was still much better off, right?
At least, a Chanel lipstick costing four or five hundred yuan was no burden to Niu Fenjin.
Xu Zixuan did not refuse either. She had been planning to show off in front of her cousin. She was actually very jealous that Xia Yuqing was prettier than her. As a woman who had already entered the workforce, she knew all too well how powerful a woman's appearance could be.
Because of that, she envied and resented Xia Yuqing.
Xia Yuqing also agreed to An Wuyang's suggestion. An Wuyang had just confessed his family's circumstances to her, and Niu Fenjin's vaguely strange behavior made her curious to see what would happen.
Thus, the four of them arrived at the Chanel beauty counter together.
However, the moment An Wuyang arrived at the Chanel beauty counter, he inwardly cried out in dismay!
The sales assistant at the Chanel counter was actually someone he knew. When she saw An Wuyang, she was already smiling and greeted him warmly. "Classmate An, long time no see!"
"Has Ms. Li been busy lately? She hasn't come by in quite a while. We prepared this month's member gift for her, so could you please take it back to her?" the sales assistant said warmly.
"..." An Wuyang was speechless.
"..." Niu Fenjin was speechless as well.
"..." Xu Zixuan was equally speechless.
Only Xia Yuqing smiled.
What the hell was going on?
Niu Fenjin and Xu Zixuan looked at An Wuyang in confusion. They had never seen a Chanel beauty sales assistant act so warmly, nor did they know anything about a member gift.
While the three of them stood there speechless, the sales assistant had already taken a Chanel paper shopping bag from the storage cabinet beneath the counter and handed it to An Wuyang. "Sorry to trouble you, Classmate An!"
An Wuyang accepted it helplessly and replied casually, "Thanks, Sis Zhou."
Zhou Yue hurriedly responded politely, "You're too polite, Classmate An!"
"Is Classmate An planning to buy anything today?" Zhou Yue asked.
An Wuyang replied, "Probably lipstick?"
Zhou Yue immediately looked at Xia Yuqing and Xu Zixuan, then directly ruled out Xu Zixuan. Although she did not know An Wuyang's exact identity, she knew how much Li Wenya spent at their store. From that, she could easily determine that An Wuyang's family was either rich or influential.
Therefore, Xu Zixuan, who had ordinary looks and appeared noticeably older than An Wuyang, certainly could not be his target.
Zhou Yue turned to Xia Yuqing and asked, "Miss, what kind of lipstick would you like to buy?"
Xia Yuqing immediately seemed a little socially anxious. She shook her head and declined. "I'm not buying anything."
Zhou Yue was slightly surprised. Had she judged incorrectly?
An Wuyang explained from the side, "Sis Zhou, they're the ones buying."
An Wuyang's wording was rather interesting. He had said "they" rather than "she."
As a beauty sales assistant, Zhou Yue was exceptionally good at reading people. Otherwise, she would never have been able to do sales work. She immediately turned to Xu Zixuan and Niu Fenjin. "What would the two of you like to buy?"
Niu Fenjin had lost all of his previous sense of superiority. The familiarity and warmth the Chanel sales assistant had shown An Wuyang were like a bucket of cold water poured over him. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that An Wuyang was not simple.
After all, Niu Fenjin knew very well how practical these beauty sales assistants were.
Xu Zixuan, meanwhile, was somewhat confused. She did not understand why An Wuyang was so familiar with the Chanel sales assistant. Could it be that they already knew each other?
"I'd like to buy a lipstick." Although Xu Zixuan was confused, she still intended to buy the lipstick.
"Do you have a favorite collection or shade?" Zhou Yue asked.
Xu Zixuan wanted to act as though she frequently bought Chanel and knew the brand well, but she truly did not purchase Chanel often and did not know its specific collections. Thus, she could only reply helplessly, "I'd like to look around first. Could you bring out a few shades for me to choose from?"
"Of course!" Zhou Yue agreed.
Although Zhou Yue did not know what relationship Xu Zixuan and Niu Fenjin had with An Wuyang, since they had come to the Chanel beauty counter together, she would show consideration for An Wuyang's sake. No matter what, she had to give him that respect first.
After all, if she offended An Wuyang and he took Li Wenya to a Chanel counter in another shopping mall, that would be her loss, wouldn't it?
The competition among Chanel beauty counters was fierce!
